15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The main opponents are the minister and, more broadly, the entire system of constitutional institutions, including the President and the Supreme Court, who are accused of complicity in an ideological dictatorship. The criticism is intense, ideological, and fundamental, accusing the opposing side of imposing censorship and pressure on society. Compromise is ruled out because the opposing side is considered to be talking "bullshit."

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, information briefing
The main opponents are the prime minister and the government, who are accused of embracing the post-democratic era, and, more broadly, "pro-European forces." The criticism is intense, focusing both on procedural issues (election manipulation, selective acceptance of OSCE assessments) and the character of individuals (a reference to the Biden family). The opposition's stance also extends to challenging the views of party colleague Hanah Lahe regarding Donald Trump.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session
The main criticism is aimed at the broader political system, which engages in inter-party blaming and obstructionism on issues spanning the past, present, and future. Strong opposition is also directed at those who impose bureaucratic restrictions on agriculture (such as the plan to ban caged hens), restrictions that destroy investments and a way of life.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, information briefing
The main criticism is directed at the government, which is accused of remaining in its comfort zone and adopting a narrow view of security. The criticism is policy- and action-based, citing the failure to implement previous defense capability development plans (a ship, helicopters) and the disregard for existing analyses. Early critics were dismissed as "typical propagandistic slander."

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The primary adversaries are the Government, the bureaucracy, and specific high-level institutions, such as the Chancellor of Justice, the Prosecutor General, and the leadership of the Defence Forces. The criticism is both procedural (the commission refusing to debate the draft legislation) and substantive (excessive secrecy and inefficient public procurement). The highest intensity of criticism is directed at corruption and the lack of accountability, citing the Nordica case, which has been labeled as "state theft."
